Collection 16/22 #105

This 1981 Dargaud album plunges readers into a swashbuckling confrontation aboard a tall ship, as the silver-haired pirate Barbe-Rouge clashes blade-in-hand against a crowd of determined mutineers in Les Révoltes de l'Océane. The cover painting crackles with tension — Barbe-Rouge lunges forward, cutlass raised, while figures press in around him against a backdrop of rigging and wooden decks. It's a vivid, action-packed snapshot of high-seas adventure that makes this Collection 16/22 entry hard to put back on the shelf.
